| Quarantine progress with recommended routine for 3~4 months Posted: 30 Jul 2020 10:02 AM PDT Stats 23 years old/Male/1,67m height. 71.5 kilograms before, now down to 63 kilograms . Background So, quarantine started around 4 months ago, and I was already getting too fat before of it. Because of that, and because of social distancing and stuff, I didn't want to go to gyms (even if they already have opened here), so I started researching about how to get somewhat healthier and bare minimum fitter at home with almost no equipment. Then I found out this sub, and quickly started digging the recommended routine. I have already lifted some years back in the past (like when I was 16~20) but I stopped after some time. The reason I made this post is just to share my personal experience with the recommended routine for around 3~4 months. Im personally very happy with the results, even if it isn't a very impressive progress, I didn't thought I would have been disciplined for so far to be honest lol. I want to really thanks this sub for creating a FAQ, routines and posts so well constructed, with precise and coherent informations. And I also want to thanks the active and well studied community that is always helping people with their questions. Everything here was really important for my progress so far. Pictures Anyway, here is the link with the two pictures, first with 71.5 kg, and then (some days ago) with 63 kg. https://imgur.com/a/hbuiz73 (71.5 kg) https://imgur.com/DM40Fzw (63 kg) Edit: Forgot to describe some needed info, sorry! Diet: I stopped drinking sodas, juices altogether. Started eating healthier and leaner food, like a lot of broccoli and cauliflower. I still enjoy fast food sometimes but it greatly less often. Also I eat a lot of chocolate still, it is the sweet food that I crave the most I think. Also I fast for 12 hours everyday, so I think it is not called intermittent fasting yet. The reason I fast is because I read about how fasting can help stabilize the body's response to insulin, and a high insulin tolerance may contribuite to fat gain. But basically thats it, I didn't even count calories, I just wanted to get somewhat helathier and leaner than I was before, so I didn't really structured a diet... I just choose foods that are less caloric in general for my meals, generally, with less carbohidrates than before (but I still eat them, mostly in the form of fruits like bananas, oranges, grapes, raisins...) I also drink Whey Protein powder for reaching that protein, around 100 grams daily for my weight. Exercises Routine: Essentially the recommended routine. Started with the most basic of each exercise, and progressed with it the way it was explained, 3 times a week (sometimes 2). My only alteration in the routine is the core training, that I reduced to only doing L-sit for now. Pseudo planche push-ups 3x8 Pull-up 3x8 Split-leg squat 3x8 (both legs obviously) Split-leg romanian deadlift Weighted Dips 3x8 Rows 3x10 L-sit for 30 seconds x 3 (doing it hanging at the pull-up bar for now) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:51 PM PDT So like most people I'm training in lockdown and one thing I've learned is that my core is absolutely abysmal. I came from weightlifting where I could put up pretty respectable numbers on the major lifts and my core was rock solid in those lifts (or at least felt like it, I knew how to brace and keep steady under heavy load). But now that I'm training in a way that isolates the core, I'm beginning to see how weak it is when isolated. Trying to do a "beginner" routine involving basic movements and my back takes over after 15-20 seconds, so I can't even do the full duration of what should be a very achievable beginner ab routine. Is it just a case of my abs being so atrociously weak on their own that I need to do less than what a beginner should be able to achieve? If so am I still getting any benefit from doing these exercises for such a short duration? It's damn depressing :( [link] [comments] |
| I'm out of shape in a seriously unhealthy way. Posted: 30 Jul 2020 11:53 AM PDT I'm not fat, I can't break the 60kg barrier luckily even while being a slob. But I am SO put if shape it's not even funny. I honestly don't even know where to start. How do you guys get started, stay motivated and such? Cuz for me it's feels impossible. Mostly being deppressed to shit but also because I just have a REALLY hard time starting stuff. I dunno what it is but starting a new task or habit is nigh impossible for me. It's always mañana mañana, even after beating myself up over it the next day I'm back to the same shit. Anyways, I'm gonna find some schedule, try today, try tommorow and hopefully keep trying, and maybe get off my ass and run as well. Not gonna plan a diet, or try to get ripped, I just wanna not be a slob anymore and atleast average strength and stamina so I can actually start doing fun stuff. Tldr: massive word turd of a post.

| Posted: 30 Jul 2020 11:39 AM PDT Possibly the wrong sub for this question, if so my apologies. What is this piece of equipment this guy is using at the end of the video? Some sort of hand-crank moving plank thingy. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:28 AM PDT Hi guys, I want to share this video with you where you will see how to learn back clap push up. Pleaee be careful with this move on order to avoid injury. Description Back clap push up is one of the advanced push up variations, that requires a lot of strength, explosiveness and coordination. Prerequisite for learning back clap push up is achieving regular clap push up. Please follow this tutorial if you already are not able to do this move: Clap push up tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXF7hU6E_fg After you master this move, you are ready to progress further to back clap push up. Back clap push up looks cool, but it can be dangerous, so don't try this move until you complete all progression steps and until you feel comfortable enough. How to Back Clap Push Up? | Back Clap Push Up Tutorial Steps: Technique -start from a regular push up - top position -keep your chin up -arms fully extended, core tight -go down until your elbows reach 90 degree angle -push yourself up explosively -do a back clap -land your hands quickly and softly back to the ground Progression
Practice back clap in the standing position in order to gain more flexibility. There you go! Thanks once again for taking time to watch! Any feedback is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Doing Shrugs Upside Down on a Pull Up Bar for Traps. Opinions? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 05:12 PM PDT Hey guys i have a pull up bar and have considered doing shrugs while hanging upside down from my pull up bar as a trap workout. Have any of you guys done this or have any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 04:26 PM PDT I ask his because since I was about 18 I've looked at bodyweight training, simply because of anxiety rtc about going to the gym and life in general. I dont wanna be massive or even big I just want some definition and functionality, plus a bit more mass if possible. Thanks. Edit: I'm skint too, so cant afford any proper weight sets right now, anybody have any experience or any tips on if I could use regular things as heavier weights and if they could help.
